Extending H°° Control
to Nonlinear Systems
Advances in Design and Control
SIAM's Advances in Design and Control series consists of texts and monographs dealing with all areas
of design and control and their applications. Topics of interest include shape optimization, multidisciplinary
design, trajectory optimization, feedback, and optimal control. The series focuses on the mathematical
and computational aspects of engineering design and control that are usable in a wide variety of
scientific and engineering disciplines.
